This only applies to U.S. Brokerage Account Holders. It refers to Securities And Exchange Commission (SEC).

The federal agency created by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to administer that act and the Securities Act of 1933. The statues administered by the SEC are designed to promote full public disclosure and protect the investing public against fraudulent and manipulative practices in the securities markets. Generally, most issues of securities offered interstate commerce or through the mails must be registered with the SEC. (See Maloney Act, Securities Act Amendments of 1975, Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

The Securities and Futures Act, Chapter 289 of Singapore (the "SFA") makes it an offence to engage in certain prohibited conduct in relation to securities. The prohibited conduct extends to acts within or outside Singapore, as well as acts in relation to securities listed in Singapore or elsewhere. You must familiarise yourself with the relevant provisions of the SFA (as amended from time to time) and ensure that you do not engage in such prohibited conduct when trading through Citibank Brokerage.

The prohibited conduct are:

false trading and market rigging1: this includes (i) creating a false or misleading appearance of active trading, (ii) engaging in transactions that do not involve any change in the beneficial ownership of securities, or (iii) engaging in fictitious transactions that maintain, inflate, depress or cause fluctuations in the market price of securities. A wash sale could create such a false or misleading appearance of active trading or with respect to the price of securities. A "wash sale" could involve a person entering multiple orders for the purchase or sale of the same securities, where his purchase order could be matched with his sale order. Another form of false trading could involve 2 customers arranging to enter purchase and sale orders which could be matched with one another on the market;

securities market manipulation2: this refers to engaging in transactions that raise, lower, maintain or stabilise the price of securities (or that are likely to have such effect) with the intent of inducing other persons to trade in securities;

false or misleading statements3: this refers to making false or misleading statements that induce others to trade in securities or that affect the market price of securities;

fraudulently inducing persons to deal in securities4: this includes making misleading, false or deceptive statements, promises or forecasts to induce another person to deal in securities, as well as inducing another person to deal in securities by any dishonest concealment of material facts;

employment of manipulative and deceptive devices in connection with securities trading5: this includes making false statements or omitting to state material facts in connection with any securities transaction;

dissemination of information about illegal transactions6: this refers to making statements that the price of securities will, or is likely to, rise or fall or be maintained as a result of any transaction that the person making the statement knows involves prohibited conduct, where the person making the statement (or a person associated with such person) is also involved in the prohibited conduct; and

insider trading7: (i) insider trading refers to dealing in securities or procuring another person to deal in securities whilst in possession of non-public, price-sensitive information; (ii) the communication of non-pubic, price-sensitive information to another person is also prohibited if the person communicating the information knows, or ought reasonably to know, that the recipient of the information is likely to deal in securities or procure another person to deal in securities.

Engaging in such prohibited conduct may result in you being convicted of a criminal offence, being subject to a civil penalty or being subject to civil liability.

The above does not constitute legal advice. If in doubt, you must consult your own independent legal adviser.

For Sell Orders, you can place limit orders (The lowest price you are willing to sell) and stop loss limit orders across all markets

Market Order is available for U.S. Market sell orders only. When a Market Order for a "Sell" order is placed, the order will be partially or fully filled at the prevailing bid price. Note: The execution price may not be the same as the last traded price as stock prices are volatile and it may have moved upon execution.

Stop Loss Limit Order is a normal order with respect to a sale instruction (with a specified Lowest Selling Price and a pre-set Stop Loss Price) which you may place with the Singapore, U.S. and Hong Kong markets for processing during the continuous trading session on any relevant trading day.

As the last traded price is used to determine if the Stop Loss Price has been triggered, the opening price of the continuous trading session may be adopted for the earliest triggering of a stop loss order placed on the relevant trading day.

Once the order is triggered at the Stop Loss Price on any trading day, the sale instruction will be carried out at or above the Lowest Selling Price in the same way as a normal order except that any unfilled order (in whole or in part) will lapse at the end of the same trading day and will not be carried forward to the following trading day. Therefore, even if the Stop Loss price has been triggered, the stop loss order may not be executed (in whole or in part.)

Securities investments are not bank deposits and involve risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. The price of securities can and does fluctuate; sometimes dramatically, and that any individual security may experience upward or downward movements, and may even become valueless. Therefore it is as likely that losses will be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling securities. This is the risk that customers should be prepared to accept. Investors investing in securities denominated in non-local currency should be aware of the risk of exchange rate fluctuations that may cause a loss of principal. Citibank is not recommending the Citibank Brokerage Account or giving any advice in relation to customers' securities investments. Customers will take complete responsibility for any losses resulting from their trading strategy. Investment products and services are not available to U.S. Persons.
